Other people's luggage
Be careful with carry-ons too. Since airlines are charging for checked bags, more people are using carry-ons only. This results in the airlines having too many carry-ons to fit on the plane. The airlines then try to force you to give them your carry-on as well. DON'T. Chances are you have items in your carry on that you need. If at all possible place your important items in the additional item (purse, briefcase,etc) that fits under the seat. If flying with a companion, places the most important items in one carry on that you not willing to give up. If you have needed medications, tell the airlines, you won't be placing them under the plane.— May 13, 2013 10:09 a.m.
Sweetwater school district to team with Alliant University?
I've given up on the board, so this is for any SUHSD students who might come across this. Be careful, you are much better off completing the A-G requirements for the California State University System-they will cover the admission requirements for almost any university in the country. Then, if you are able to, take classes at one of community colleges in San Diego while still in HS (summers, night classes during the school year). City College is easily accessible by trolley and Southwestern is on the bus line. These classes will transfer to the State Universities and many private colleges. These community college credits are inexpensive. Alliant is unranked, doesn't even give out a 4 yr graduation rate and is far from economical. Study, hard, do well in HS and apply for scholarships and financial aid at much better schools. UC schools (depending on family income) may cost less and include some top ranked universities. Well known private schools also have many academic scholarships available. Just because someone tells you something is a good deal-doesn't mean it is.— May 13, 2013 8:53 a.m.
